The House of the Devil 2009 - Poster, Photo, Synopsis, Plot and Trailer HD

The House of the Devil is a 2009 horror film written, directed, and edited by Ti West, starring Jocelin Donahue, Tom Noonan, and Mary Woronov. It combines elements of both the slasher film and haunted house subgenres while using the “satanic panic” of the 1980s as a central plot element. The film attempts to recreate the 1970s and 1980s style of horror films, using filming techniques and technology similar to those used in that era.

The House of the Devil 2009 Plot

College student Samantha Hughes takes on a babysitting job in a remote mansion in order to make the down payment on a one-bedroom apartment she wants. The pay is good, but after Samantha is taken to the house by her friend, Megan, she realizes that something isn’t quite right. While Megan is driving home from dropping off Samantha, she is shot and killed. The old couple who live in the house, Mr. and Mrs. Ulman, confess that they, in fact, do not have any children, and it isn’t long before Samantha realizes that she is trapped. She finds photos in a closet that hint that the couple murdered the family that really lived there, as the car driven by the Ulmans is pictured in those photos. She orders a pizza that, unknown to her, is spiked with a drug that later causes her to pass out. As a lunar eclipse darkens the night sky, her employers carry out a horrific ritual with Samantha at the center. She escapes part of the way through the ritual, but horrific images begin appearing in her mind. When she is chased out of the house by Mr. Ulman, he states that it is too late to reverse it. She threatens to kill him with the gun that Megan was murdered with, and he agrees to die, for he is just a messenger. Instead of shooting him, she shoots herself in the head. The film cuts to her in a hospital bed. A nurse walks in and tells the unconscious Samantha that she will be okay. The nurse then pats Samantha’s belly and tells Samantha that her baby will be okay as well. Read more …

The Fourth Kind 2009 - Poster, Plot, Review, Photos and Trailer HD

The Fourth Kind is a 2009 American science fiction-horror film, starring Milla Jovovich, Charlotte Milchard, Elias Koteas, Will Patton and Mia McKenna Bruce. The title is derived from the expansion of J. Allen Hynek’s classification of close encounters with aliens, in which the fourth kind denotes alien abductions.

The film was a moderate box office success, earning over US$46 million worldwide.

The Fourth Kind 2009 Plot

In 2002, Chapman University hosts a televised interview with psychologist Dr. Abigail “Abbey” Tyler. She tells her story of a close encounter incident at Nome, Alaska in October 2000.

In August 2000, Abbey’s husband, Will Jammeson, is mysteriously murdered one night in his sleep, leaving her to raise their two children, Ashley and Ronnie. Dr. Campos, a physician from Anchorage, encourages Abbey to take some time off but she refuses, stating that Will’s research must be continued.

Abbey returns to Nome to tape hypnotherapy sessions with three different patients, all of whom have the same experience: every night they have each seen a white owl at their window staring at them. Abbey puts a patient named Tommy under hypnosis, who then begins screaming and spasms erratically. After Abbey awakens him, she asks Tommy what he saw but he refuses to answer and leaves. Later that night, Tommy holds his family at gunpoint, demanding to speak to Abbey. After a brief conversation with her, he screams “Zimbatu Eter!”, demanding to know what it is, then kills his family and himself. The local Sheriff, August, suspects that Abbey’s hypnosis is to blame.

The next morning, Dr. Campos arrives in Nome to see Abbey. He joins her for a session with another patient named Scott. While under hypnosis, Scott starts shaking, foaming at the mouth, levitating, and screaming in a barbaric, unknown language. After awakening him, Abbey suggests that Tommy and Scott were possibly victims of a Non-human kidnapping. Abbey’s secretary, who was earlier instructed to make a transcript of Abbey’s tape recorded notes from the previous night, hands her the tape and hastily leaves the room. Abbey plays the tape which starts with her talking normally, until the tape goes quiet. Abbey is heard breathing heavily then screaming hysterically and a metallic, static voice is heard speaking in the background in the strange tongue. Abbey is shocked and terrified by the recording, not recalling any of those events happening. She then returns home and finds scratch marks in the floorboards that match up with her broken fingernails. Read more …

The Wolfman 2010 Poster, Synopsis, HD Trailer and Raw Review

Starring: Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt, Hugo Weaving

Director: Joe Johnston

Writer(s): Andrew Kevin Walker, David Self

Cinematography: Shelly Johnson

Original Score: Paul Haslinger

Running Time: 102 Mins.

The troubled history of The Wolfman from script-to-screen is as infamous as they get, seeking to reboot their Universal Monster stable the studio hired director Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo), then amidst pre-production Romanek fled citing that all-encompassing reason “creative differences”, onboard came Joe Johnston (Jurassic Park III, Jumanji) and having shot the film then returned for re-shoots (rarely a good sign) that meant the film was delayed a number of times. All in all not the potent mix that would usually lead to a successful, and more importantly, good film.

And alas, as I feared, all the shunting around of dates and change of director makes for a hugely uneven film, and while The Wolfman is far from a total disaster its problems far outweigh what good can be gleamed from the overall mess, it’s hard to know where to start when breaking down a messy film, for there are good parts within the bad and vice versa, the clashing and uneven tone are largely The Wolfman’s overarching problem with both the original director (and scripts) vision jarring against what Johnston seems intent on doing, especially given his slapdash approach at direction that is hampered by some poor editing.

This two-sided approach filters through every aspect, the score ebbs and flows between Danny Elfman-esque gothicism (original composer, also left mid-shoot), and more subdued atmospheric tracks that feel at odds with what is onscreen, a problem that the cast also seem to be afflicted with. Del Toro was evidently brought in when the film was intended as a character piece, yet is now reduced to looking confused and mumbling, while Blunt is quite simply (and uncharacteristically) bland as the love interest, and the less said about their blossoming romance over skimming stones, the better.

Hopkins and Weaving fare much better, hamming it up enough and showing great gusto amidst the films cheesier moments (and they are many!) suggesting that the studio veered from something more serious and decided to settle for parody of their old classic’s, something which would have worked if the film had the intention to carry it throughout. Between the limp attempts at character development are the action sequences, and while they have a certain spark at times and do teeter on the edge of exciting they seem far too glossy and CGI-ed to convince on any level, with the wolfman lopping off heads and arms in comic Monty Python style, any potential scare factor is lost and the blood and guts a little too low-key to likely please even the gore-hounds.

Much has been made of The Wolfman being Rick Baker’s (American Werewolf in London, Wolf) return to werewolf make-up effects, and while a great deal of time and money has been spent attempting to meld the CGI and practical effects together seamlessly it is a very hit and miss affair, the CGI is fantastic when called for in the man-to-wolf changes yet the make-up itself all too often resembles just that, make up, and there is little question as to which wolfman is scarier, this one or that of  American Werewolf in London’s, something which goes to show that all the money in Hollywood cant buy you an atmospheric, scary, or fundamentally good film !

VERDICT

It is a shame that so little of The Wolfman satisfies, or succeeds, as all the elements are there, sometimes to be clearly seen onscreen. In fact, if we had a character piece starring Del Toro and Blunt with a companion piece that harked back to Universal’s classic monster movie, we may well have had the perfect pair up, as it is, combined as one, the result is just a disappointing mess.

SYNOPSIS

Life in a conservative small town is complicated enough for a young Iranian-American woman and a not-completely-out gay couple, but now they also have to deal with zombie hordes in this splatter-filled comedy.

MOVIE REVIEW

“If you’re expecting a special effects demo reel in the form of a film, you will probably be disappointed (though there is a sufficient amount of gore, and some great effects along with it - faces being pulled off, eyes falling out, etc). This ain’t a “splatter” zombie film. It’s merely a good one.” Read more …
